Smith tried to play it off … but Barkley had some things to say: He was clearly setting the guys up to have some fun with a photo that TMZ shared of Kenny Smith at the beach in Miami with a model. you just HAVE to have this book in your collection.The fabulous NBA on TNT crew was back on the air Sunday night after having a few days off, and they picked up just where they left off before their brief vacation-with Charles Barkley getting everyone laughing over something that didn’t have anything to do with basketball.Įrnie Johnson got the whole thing going when he asked if anyone had any photos they wanted to share from their weekend away from their job. Yet actually you don't see much of Fort's books actually in the new age shops these days, maybe because they know that once you've read Fort non of these johny-come-lately's can hold a candle to him and it might depress sales.This Dover edition gives you what Dover is best at, a good cheap durable book of a classic that has been to long out of print, and this one is a special treat gathering all of Forts books under one cover.Anyone interested in the paranormal,the unexplained, the weird, the supernatural or just stuff that makes you go huh?.
